Wedbush Morgan - April NPD Preview

[Dolla Dolla]

April NPD is only 4 weeks which explains the lower than expected numbers. March was 5 weeks, so logically with a week subtracted you should see smaller numbers. March NPD (5 weeks): NDS - 508k PS2 - 280k Wii - 259k 360 - 199k PSP - 180k GBA - 148k PS3 - 130k With absolutely no changes in supply or demand, the 4 week month would be this: April NPD (4 weeks estimate): NDS - 407k PS2 - 224k Wii - 207k 360 - 160k PSP - 144k GBA - 120k PS3 - 104k The ones who should have a possible increase week to week would be Wii, DS, PSP, and possibly 360. The Wii has been supply constrained, but reports have said they have ramped up supply. The DS had a Pokemon release. The PSP had a price drop. The 360 had the Elite released toward the end of the NPD month (April 29th to May 8th sales will be recorded, I believe). But, it's possible sales slowed in previous weeks due to the Elite announcement, therefore negating any gain it may have had.
